US to resume food aid deliveries in Ethiopia

The United States says it will resume deliveries of food aid across Ethiopia in December, six months after they were suspended over corruption allegations.

The US International Development Agency (USAid) said significant reforms would ensure that the food supplies reached those who needed them most.

The aid resumption will be on a one-year trial basis, it said.

Millions of Ethiopians face food shortages because of the effects of conflict and severe weather.

The US halted aid in June, complaining of the widespread and coordinated diversion of supplies.

A limited resumption took place last month for refugees in camps.
